I'm a Celebrity 2019: First contestant 'revealed' on Good Morning Britain

This year’s series of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is less than a month away, and the contestant rumours are in full swing.

One such rumour seems to have been confirmed on Friday morning’s episode of Good Morning Britain as Ben Shephard teased co-host Kate Garraway about potentially entering the Australian campsite. 

“I can’t wait for you to go away for a month,” Shephard said, with Garraway responding: “I can neither confirm nor deny.”

Shephard continued: “What’s the cryptic clue for that one? Kangaroo testic-?”

Garraway has been in the running to enter the ITV reality series ever since she was reportedly forced to pull out of the 2018 edition shortly before it began.

Earlier this month, former contestant Peter Andre quizzed Garraway on a potential appearance, saying: “Listen, let me really talk you through if you decide to do it, or if you are already doing this.”

This year’s series will see the return of Ant McPartlin alongside Declan Donnelly after he took a hiatus from presenting. Last year, Donnelly was joined by Holly Willoughby.

I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here will return to ITV in November. Other people rumoured to appear include Richard Madeley, Blue singer Duncan James and Love Island star Amy Hart.
